  • The first movie was a masterpiece of being a deconstruction of superhero tropes while also being a great superhero movie. I don’t think that’s something you can do twice.

    I’m glad they went a different route for the sequel, and even though it was not as good (literally impossible to be better, I think). I liked the sequel quite a bit except for the ending set piece.

    I’m not expecting them to reach the brilliance of the first, but if they make a good movie, I’ll be happy.








  • There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that’s the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.

    If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you’ll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.

    This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.

    I’ve found people mostly very helpful and courteous.







  • The big issue is that by adding more and more features, a browser has become an operating system and so complex that you can’t hope to make a new one from scratch.

    The last “new” browser engine (that wasn’t built by a corporation) was KHTML which was stolen harvested first by Apple for Webkit and subsequently by Google for Blink. KHTML then rotted without support.

    The most recent attempt was to build Servo in Rust. Mozilla “ran out of money” (they depend on Google for their existence), and it’s already rotting.
